Flea market, 5 Witco carved barstools with original upholstered seats..$125 for all 5. Yeah, it still hurts. The original post is still here somewhere on TC.
Bottom line was, the purchase would have redlined me with my bank account...We were in a Honda civic, and don't think I could have made enough room for 5 stools, and lastly, we had no place to store them or hold them over until we could make room for them.
Found out the very next month from the vendor (who didnt know what they were), that a "good flea market samaritan", or wannabe appraiser told her what their value was. She told me she was glad I did not buy them, because she sold them later that afternoon for what I remember, $450/set of 5. hah!
